Over the 4th of July weekend a woman visited the Cashiers Village Hillside Shops and spotted my 10" Pansies and Sunflowers flower pot. (See previous post.) It seems it was the PERFECT gift for a good friend of hers, but a bit too large. Because I had another hand painted pansies in a pot plate identical to the one I used on the large pot, as well as another cluster of purple pansies plate, it was easy to make her a custom piece in an 8" size.
She had also requested that I hold the purple and incorporate black and white if possible to match her friend's kitchen colors. Fortunately, one of my very favorite Meakin Sterling patterns comes in black and white.
I used a light green contemporary Fiesta solid and matched the inside paint pretty closely.Here is the 10" for comparison:
Annie lost interest in the piece when her backyard deer supervision duties were needed.

Thank you, Marilyn!
(Marilyn owns The Cabins at Seven Foxes in Lake Toxaway, NC. Interestingly enough, she recognized me from an outdoor craft show in Cashiers two years ago. I donated a mosaic dog bone to her Atlanta rescue group, New Leash on Life, at the end of that show. Marilyn continues to be very generous with her time in support of animal rescue groups having just hosted a fundraiser at her Toxaway property for two of Transylvania County's best no-kill groups!)
